Viva the Revolution

The Wine Teacher has never been overly fond of most Chilean wines. Their winemakers have tried to copy European styles but the result has often been to produce wines that are rather overblown, usually due to very high sugar levels caused by picking the grapes too late.

This week we attended a masterclass delivered by Jancis Robinson MW who visited Chile earlier this year and came back to write ‘it is no exaggeration to say that the Chilean wine scene is undergoing a revolution’. On her trip she met the people who are blazing a trail for the ‘new Chile’.

Firstly, there is a new generation of young winemakers who are keen to deliver wines that showcase the diverse geography and different climates that exist in this long, but narrow, country bordered on the west by the pacific ocean and to the east by the snow-capped Andes mountains.

Secondly, cooler areas have been identified that will produce lighter and more elegant wines. The Maule and Itata valleys to the south are fast becoming key areas in this revolution. To the north, vines are being planted higher up in the Andes foothills, again to give lighter styles.

Thirdly, there is a clearer emphasis on better matching of grape varieties to their preferred soil and sub-soil types. Also, the promotion of indigenous varieties, particularly the País grape, which hitherto has never been treated as a serious wine grape.

The tasting, led by Jancis, clearly showed how far Chile has come in such a short time. Many of the wines were much more refreshing than we have come to expect from Chile and lower alcohol levels clearly allowed for more complexity and elegance.

There are many examples of the new style appearing in independent wine shops and on-line. As a really good example of the ‘new Chile’ we would pick out one producer to watch out for – Garcia and Schwaderer.

Join the revolution!
